[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Catholicism is a curious choice if he only recently converted.  Many evangelicals are still strangely suspicious of Catholics, and there are a lot of rules and formality.  Easier to be caught in gotcha moments. [/quote]

He explained his road to conversion here:

Wow, that was beautifully written and so interesting.  Clearly, he put in years of thought and inner debate about religion.  Interesting passages about his wife, too.

"There was a concern that it would be unfair to my wife: she hadn’t married a Catholic, and I felt like I was throwing her into it. But from the beginning, she supported my decision, so I can’t blame the delay on her.

My wife has said that the business of converting to Catholicism—studying and thinking about it—was “good for you.” And I came, eventually, to see that she was right, at least in some cosmic sense. I realized that there was a part of me—the best part—that took its cues from Catholicism. It was the part of me that demanded that I treat my son with patience, and made me feel terrible when I failed. That demanded that I moderate my temper with everyone, but especially my family. That demanded that I care more about how I rated as a husband and father than as an income earner.[b] That demanded that I sacrifice professional prestige for the interests of family.[/b] That demanded that I let go of grudges, and forgive even those who wronged me."[/quote]

Pfft.  Clearly that idea didn’t take root. [/quote]

Ooh, tell us about Joe Biden's striving for professional prestige - or any politician, for that matter. [/quote]
